Our Journey:
August 11th 2025 we took this beautiful journey down to North Carolina and underwent a tubal reversal surgery.
August 13th 2025 was my appointment date and i was so ready. Not a bit nervous. Dr. Monteith said that he was able to connect 9cm on one side and 10 on the other. (Not sure which is which though).
Still, at our ages and the fact that my tubes have been tied for 17 years, we had a 5% chance each month. Everyone who we encountered from the moment we walked in the office that very first day until we left that was so incredibly nice and not just polite. You really got the impression that they genuinely care about you and your success. I couldn’t stop talking about that for awhile afterwards.. Hubby felt the same way.
He said that after my surgery it was like i was so different. My smile was so full and he could see it in my eyes instantly like it’s exactly what my body needed. I felt that way but thought it was truly amazing that he could see it instantly. I was in a little pain after surgery.. not bad at all.. but i was still all smiles.
We immediately started trying and i made sure we were doing everything right to up those chances. Hubby has prostate cancer and is 64 so that was against us from the beginning as well. My doctor back at home retired before i could afford the surgery so i had no help figuring out what i needed to do to up our chances so i took to the internet every night researching this and that and what others found worked for them. I saw some people older than me who got pregnant and that was fantastic but their partner was younger. Not my situation. I asked Dr. Monteith who’s the oldest success story they’ve had and i believe he said 48 but don’t quote me on that.
Anyways, i told myself we got this and then finally, on the 6th month of trying we got our beautiful BFP at 11dpo. Dr. ordered a beta test at 12dpo and it was 44. Then another at 14dpo and it was 126. I think we can safely say we’re having a baby in October 2026!
If you have ANY doubts about whether or not it’s worth the drive or “throwing $ away” as my very skeptical dear husband once said, take it from me it’s 1000% worth it so be able to feel yourself again and create life again as God intended for us.
